My problem with all music recommendation engines, and for many intellectual music aficionados, the lyrics content - what is being verbally described in the music - is what I seek and hang on for my preferred music. When I listen to my collection, the genres are all over and I don't even know them. I listen to the words and treat the music as emphasis for the words. I'll have ska, 30's jazz, hip hip, and classic rock all in the same mix and it works because the lyric content is different takes on the same things. In fact, new friends are sometimes dizzy from my music choices, and then at some point they hear the thematic concept of my mixes and get it.
- rasjani 9y agoHaving a selection that has lyrical continuation from one song into an another is very typical also in reggae. Reggae as "genre" itself is also quite varied in what goes under its label. There are also other factors that play a big weight on how good matches they are to reference material. Producer and decade make a huge difference but also what's known as "riddim" name should give clues.
- johnlbevan2 9y agoNot something I'd ever thought of (I tend to tune out the words / mostly treat them as another instrument; unless listening to something especially witty). Great suggestion / I guess this leads to the idea of needing a meta recommendation engine; i.e. some way to decide what recommendation engine best works for you; selecting from one that follows lyrical themes, another that discovers "out there" content, one for similar content, etc.
